The Reaction: Industry Stunned

Posted on 07:44 by Unknown

Social media exploded with activity after news of the death broke. Kraddick’s Facebook page and a Kiss-FM tribute page were drawing a constant stream of condolences, and Twitter was active as well.

I will never wrap my brain around my fathers passing. Please keep me and my family in your prayers and ask The Lord to watch over my daddy.
